There are more fights between the males guarding their territory and harems.

I’m not always this lucky with my bird shots. I delete more than I keep. Unlike with flowers, you have to work quickly. Since reading Understanding Exposure
Every morning I rise at dawn to feed visiting wild turkeys and ducks. Later in the day, they watch me work in my flowerbeds. They come in two groups, the adult males and the little ones with their mothers. At dinnertime, a female mallard duck and her young joins in.

I see wild turkeys everyday. These two visited all winter. They could see their own reflexion in the window and pecked on the glass.
